Sam Collins is a typical teen (with a talent for programming video games) who's the leader of a rock band. One day, at practice, he is the victim of a sudden energy surge. He become a character in one of his games, named "Servo". Meanwhile, Malcolm Fricke, discovers a strange program in HIS computer, named "Kilokahn", which is a military Artificial Intelligence program, now presumed destroyed in the energy surge. Now Sam, Sydney, Tanker and Amp (later Lucky) must fight Kilokahn in cyberspace while keeping everything hush-hush. Written by George Britt <georgebritt@hotmail.com>
To cash in on the success of the extremely cheesy Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, USA Network ran their own rendition of crime fighting youths that would duke it out with some random villain on a cheesy set that dared not hide its blatant replications of the sets of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.
The story involved a pack of teenage friends led by Sam Collins who often spent time in his basement tracking the digital villain, Kilokahn. Each episode had a generic story line in which somehow, Sam or one of his friends find out that Kilokahn was up to no good, after which Sam (in digital form) would make like a transformer and go up against the electronic nemesis. The formula was: Sam and his friends are doing something fun...then oops! Kilokahn...then fight Kilokahn...then happy ending. Sam's friends were like assisting Mighty Morphin Power Ranger types, each with their own skill.
Frankly, if you were not a teenage girl watching this for its young star, Matthew Lawrence, I could not possibly fathom anyone else who would want to see it.
